Description of key information

No toxic effects up to the limit of water solubility for Pseudokirchnerella subcapitata (OECD 201)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

One study is available on the toxicity of Fatty acids, C14-18 and C18-unsatd., branched and linear, esters with neopentyl glycol (CAS No. 85005-25-0) to algae.

The key study conducted with Fatty acids, C14-18 and C18-unsatd., branched and linear, esters with neopentyl glycol (CAS No. 85005-25-0) was performed according to OECD Guideline 201 (Craig, 2004). The test organism Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was exposed to the test substance in a static system for 72 hours, at the nominal test concentrations of 125, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 mg/L. No significant effects on algae were observed during the study, and the EL50 value was reported to be > 2000 mg/L. The EL10 was reported to be > 2000 mg/L.

As it can be seen in the data matrix of the category justification in section 13 and the overall endpoint summary IUCLID 6.1, all reliable data in the polyol esters category support this hazard assessment by showing a consistent pattern of results, i.e no toxic effects up to the limit water solubility.
